Maintenance of Human embryonic stem (ES) cells under the completely chemically defined condition

Characterization of teratomas from H9 cells cultured on an hE-cad-Fc-coated surface.

Hematoxylin and eosin staining of paraffin section through teratoma identified the differentiation huES cells into various tissues:

1. neural tissue
2. cartilage
3. bone parenchyma
4. epithelial tissue

Bar indicates 100 μm. (Stain - Haematoxylin Eosin)

teratoma - a tumor with tissue or organ components resembling normal derivatives from all three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm).
